I mean if you go with your last post it disproves the post you boasted about being right on. If his highest shooting % was in November then I guess Butler being out isn't what improves his shooting. November was not part of my projection regarding Wiggins. I'm not boasting. All the data is not in yet. Things were different in November that are not related to Butler. The difference between November and now is this : teams are defending Blejica differently than in November. They are way more afraid of Bjelica's 3 point shot than in November and this has opened up the floor for other players. With teams fearing Bjelica's 3 point shot more way more than ever before and with Wiggins being on the floor with Bjelica more than ever I think we'll see Wiggins shooting % go up. again though, all the data is not in yet. so let's hold off on the party celebrating Wiggins rise to super stardom. for context here is my exact comment.

Wiggins jump shot accuracy is bad while Bjelica's is good so this adjustment provides some good synergy for the Teague//Wiggins//Bjelica//Gibson//Towns line up.

I'm pretty sure every non troll not simply looking for a fight wouldn't have read it as you did, but I am willing to answer your questions on PM, probably not worth clogging up the board over semantics. his percentages have gone up and down for MONTHS at a time. not just a single game. there are about 15 games in a month. his worst shooting month occurred in December. December is games 23 through 38. Your comment is incorrect. You should just concede rather than claim it is semantics. | ||

the Warriors are calling Curry's injury an MCL Sprain with an MRI to be done on his knee today. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22891344/stephen-curry-golden-state-warriors-leaves-again-injury-left-knee | ||

If you want to see what im talking about plot it game by game and plot tgem tgen show the average in 5 game blocks and overall. Watch it generally rise over time. i'm watching Wiggins % decline steadily from games 22 through 40. we're around game 70 now. 22 through 40 is a big chunk of the middle of the season. | ||

And if you guys want a good lasting read, check out Ben Taylor's top 40 list. It's kind of like the realgm's all time rankings--Ace you'll prob like this, since you kinda put me onto that RGM list for the first time back then I think --. http://www.backpicks.com/2017/12/11/the-backpicks-goat-the-40-best-careers-in-nba-history/ | ||

if it turns out he needs the hip surgery after all this... that is just brutal... and if he needs the surgery his career as a starter may indeed be over. Labrum surgery is fucking brutal. | ||

Be interested to see how it finishes up. Selling end's of close games isn't a bad idea, it is almost always the most exciting. I would be very interested in their numbers. 1.MJ 2.LBJ 3.Kareem is my guess. His Jerry West analysis is excellent, an example of how to compare players from different eras. I still haven't gotten to read them all though... | ||

So it is ongoing. if it turns out he needs the hip surgery after all this... that is just brutal... and if he needs the surgery his career as a starter may indeed be over. Labrum surgery is fucking brutal. He struggles to get past guys still. Deng out too! Savage reporting 8D | ||

they'll re-evaluate in 3 weeks. i think that is 4 to 6 weeks off. i think Durant had one last year and he was out 5 weeks. Irving is out 3 to 6 weeks. they removed something they put in his knee during a previous surgical procedure. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22898734/boston-celtics-all-star-point-guard-kyrie-irving-expected-miss-3-6-weeks-undergoing-knee-surgery | ||
